There Are Plenty Of Reasons For Eagles To Sign Plaxico Burress

The Eagles took a major gamble two seasons ago when they signed Michael Vick. That gamble has since paid off in spades, as Vick is now one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Another gamble could soon pay off for the Birds, if they decide to go after 6’5 former Super Bowl hero wide receiver, Plaxico Burress.

Rumors were already spreading that Burress could join the Eagles when he was released from prison on Monday. He only fueled those rumors when he wore a Phillies hat on his way out , finally a free man.

Whether or not the Eagles are actually interested at this point is unknown, and Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer says that nothing he has heard from the team makes him believe they could be interested.

If that is true, the Eagles are making a mistake. If it is true that Burress is interested in coming to Philadelphia, which is what his close friend Brandon Jacobs said, they should jump on that opportunity and bring in the former Pro-Bowl receiver.

For starters, there is absolutely no comparison between Michael Vick’s ordeal and Burress. Vick made a conscious decision to break the law, lied about it, and paid the consequences. Burress didn’t know to carry the gun, but you would be hard pressed to find an injury lawyer who feels Burress was not made an example of when he was sentenced to such a harsh punishment. What Burress did was wrong, but bringing him in will not- and should not- bring the same resentment the signing of Vick did from the fans.

Having Burress in the same locker room as Vick, the man who is now the poster child for turning around a career, will only help the Eagles get value from the former Super Bowl Champion. The fact they are both friends from Virginia, and have spoken to each other during Burress’s time in prison, only makes the possibility of Burress succeeding in Philadelphia even stronger. In fact, don’t be surprised to see Burress and Vick work out together before the lock out is over- maybe even in New Jersey.

If you look past the off the field issues, Burress’s body of work speaks for itself when it comes to filling the Eagles needs. The Eagles are deep at wide receiver, but that does not mean there is no room for improvement. The Eagles talented group of wide outs are small, and in general, have come up small in the playoffs.

DeSean Jackson, the team’s number one wide out, is the number one reason fans should want to sign Burress. Jackson is one of the most explosive players in the league, but at times has shown he can be taken out of the game due to his size. Jackson burns teams with his speed, but teams that take away his vertical game are pretty much able to make him a non factor. Jackson also has trouble in the red zone due to his size, an area the Eagles offense struggled with.

In addition, Jackson has come up small in the playoffs, where in his 5 playoff games, he has had more then 3 catches only twice. He has one career post season touchdown reception, which came against Arizona in 2008.

Plaxico Burress, in many ways, fills every hole in Jacksons game. Burress is tall, fast, and physical. He has had a touchdown reception of over 40 yards every year except two in which he has been in the league, so he is also capable of being a down the field threat. Burress’s size would immediately change the Eagles red zone offense, where the 6’5 wide receiver could step on the field tomorrow and be an immediate threat. He does not have to be in peak physical shape to run 7 yards, turn and jump.

As for Burress post season play, you only need to ask the Green Bay Packers, the very team that Jackson came up small against, what a game changer Burress can be. In 11 post season games, Burress has had at least 4 catches 6 times, and has 6 career post season touchdowns.

Signing Burress does not mean the Eagles should not award Jackson with a contract, or in anyway take away balls thrown his way. A 4 wide receiver set of Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, Burress and Jason Avant will be trouble for any team. With Micheal Vick in the shot gun, it may be near impossible to stop.

Burress will be inexpensive to sign, and if he is even 80 percent of the player he was 2-years ago, the Eagles will have themselves another weapon with capabilities different than every other receiver on the ball club.

The Eagles need to continue to reap the rewards of signing Vick by taking their offense to the next level and signing Burress.

Could you imagine a 5 wide set with D-Jax, Mac, Avant, Plex, and Cooper…….. With McCoy in the backfield and with the wheels on Mike Vick!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowzers…….. We would be unstoppable……. How can a defense defend that……. How can a defense get prepared to cover d-jax or Plex or Vick or Mac or McCoy or Celek or Avant……… Teams will have to literally prepare for the worse!!!!!!! Why not give this eagle killer a shot……

Plex has been Bear Grilles against the Eagles……. He shot us down every shot he had against us…… We have to join forces so we can be the elite…….

D-Jax has came up short in the playoffs because of AR coaching….. We all know that if AR had a scale of 55-45 D-Jax could be the best WR in the NFL…… Reid has to realize that as much as he passes the ball he could fake a defense out by running the ball sometimes……. If you drop 8 defenders with only 5 targets to throw at how can a man make things happen?????????

Its funny…….the constitution gives citizens the right to bear arms. So what was the offense again?

Did he shoot someone? Did he kill someone?

No, he shot himself.

But, that wasn’t enough pain.

Let’s throw him in jail and demonize him to send a message……

“The constitution does not apply for those who were in slavery when it was drafted.”

The people should have been outraged with this sentence…I guess the government would rather have the killers, mafia, and drug dealers, be the only people that have the right to bear arms and carry freely to harrass.

But Citizens who are a productive part of society?

No!

You good guys go into places unprotected and maybe you’ll end “6” feet under.

Wrote couple days ago, we cannot afford not to sign Burress. This article is right-on and with two other NFC east teams showing interest, we don’t need a guy with a chip on his shoulder on a team (Dallas & Skins) we play twice a year. If he turns out to be useless, let him go next year. We dodged a bullet last year with Dez Bryant going down as a another big body who beats our corners up. We don’t need to help the Skins in their rebuilding program; they won’t stay down forever as their defense is getting better each year. Get Burress on the payroll and drop the Chad Hall (5’8″-187), S. Moss (5’8″-185) types. I’d rarely advise getting a guy just to keep them off another NFC east roster, but Burress has unique physique/skills to help in situational opportunities. Vick isn’t saying a thing publicly but I’d bet he wants Plax in this offense.
@Songs… it was excessive penalty, get over it, stop the ranting; it was the NYC mayor who wanted to make an example of Burress, not Eagles fans or FO.

Not so fast Schiller
In my formation, C Hall would be the Center and snap the ball back to Vick
then C Hall would loop around and crawl under the big OL & DL for a reverse Pitch from Vick while the WR all run their pass routes into the End-ZOne allowing an open for C HAll to run throw… Unfortunately, C Hall slips on the towel that lips from Vick’s game pants and falls down untouched at the
2 Yard on the last play of the game……

Plax demonstrated that carrying a loaded gun around CAN be dangerous enough to cause unwanted injury. Yeah, it was himself – luckily! It totally could have fired and hit they guy walking up the stairs behind him or in front of him, or a person downstairs. And the point is, it was clearly unsafe for him to be doing it.

Songs, you have reached an all time low my friend. Your comment about guns may be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard on this discussion board. Guns are not 100% LEGAL. They are legal under certain limitations (e.g. having a permit). I mean, under your logic, it’s perfectly legal to yell that you have a bomb in an airport given that you are just exercising your first amendment right to freedom of speech.

While I agree that his sentence was a bit harsh, the circumstances could have been far worse and an innocent bystander could have easily have lost their life due to Plaxico’s gross negligence. If you’re out in public and can’t keep your gun from going off, you should not be allowed to carry one.

It won’t hurt to add a WR of Plaxico’s caliber to the Eagles especially at the cost in which he’ll be gotten…There is low risk involved…Its not like he’ll get a maximum contract, so the Eagles will still be able to pursue free agents. The Eagles is the best fit for Plax…with the WR’s already on the roster, he won’t feel any pressure to perform (meaning he won’t have the pressures of a number 1 or 2 receiver) He’ll be able to work hisself back into playing shape…He’ll either be able to help the Eagles, or the Eagles can just cut him if he does not perform…any team is going to create a contract involving Plax, with a bunch of variables, clauses etc…

I agree…things have changed…The criminals that used guns to execute mass genocide on a people now feels guns are illegal because others now have guns.

Which crime was greater?

The criminals that used guns to kill the indians and enslave blacks?

Again..permits are illegal.

People should not have to get permits for a “right”.

The crimes are being commited by those who get guns without permits…so that permit argument is out the window.

The Laws are being made so that those who are legally trying to survive can not carry guns to ward off the criminals…More criminals…more “for profit” jails raking in the money through free labor (slavery).

Plaxico Burress was a victim and with the right Lawyer he would not have served 1 minute in that illegal institution.

How in the hell someone get convicted for mistakenly shooting themselves.

The asanine argument that he could have shot someone else is ridiculous…He didn’t.

If you run into a tree with your car near a park….(an accident)…..should you be jailed because you could have hit a pedestrian in public?

And yes, guns are ILLEGAL without a permit; especially in NY. Not everyone has the right to bear arms just like freedom of speech is not 100% true (e.g. yelling bomb in an airport).

If you think it has to be ‘constitution, verbatim, with no exceptions, amendments, changes, or caveats – or no constitution at all, then we’d have ditched it (officially, as a country) a LONG LONG time ago!

Since you’re interested in history, FYI – the 2nd ammendment was in there because of the context of the new American government and Britain, not crime. It was a government in its infancy stages making sure that cititzen’s had the right to protect themselves against extremely abusive governments, like Britain had been to them.

Those laws are illegal according to the constitution and if you throw out the constitution the rights you have outside of the gun laws can also be determined illegal.

Be careful what you allow…checks and balances were put in place in case government gets out of control.

Yes ..it would be better if we were in the wild west.

Do you guys actually read history before making stupid statements?

Again….more guns deter crime….a restriction on guns benefits the criminals because criminals don’t go through the legalities…therefore less law abiding citizens have less guns.

Let’s stick to the constitution and if we are armed we can kill those who may rape, rob and murder on the spot.

I really could care less about the gun situation at this point. I am disappointed that Plexico Burress, who was showing signs of declining skills before being incarcerated is a bigger free agent story than Vincent Jackson.

C’mon G if you’re going to do an article on Plexico Burress at least do a story on a real player that might make a major contribution to some team this season like Vincent Jackson. While I agree that Eagles need a big go to guy some other team should roll the dice on Burress while the Eagles get Vincent Jackson OR the Eagles should get Burress in addition to Vincent Jackson. My suspicion is that Burress, at this point in his career, is probably slightly better than Riley Cooper or worse.

He shot himself, no one else. He did not hold up anyone. If he can play, give him a shot on a incentive laid contract.

I keep hearing this word conspiracy theorists as if not believing bogus narratives or questioning the official stories are wrong.

Here’s a theory..tell me if you believe it.

19 hijackers who were trained to fly planes on U.S. army bases, hijacked 4 airplanes with boxcutters and flew 2 of them into the world trade center buildings and 1 into the pentagon.

2 serious leads led to a main suspect (Osama Bin Laden) an American born arab trained by the C.I.A..

Lead 1

One hijacker conveniently left maps of airlines with pictures of the world trade center in his luggage found by TSA and confirmed by the FBI…

Lead 2

in the debri of on of the towers blew to powder was a passport which mysteriously survived the plane explosion and the building collapse only to be found conveniently on the rubble which pinpointed one of the hijackers leading to Bin Laden.

2 planes hit buildings…yet 3 buildings collapsed.,,,and for the first time in the history of buildings in the united states, not 1 building…. but 3 buildings collapsed due to fire.

This gave us no choice but to go into Iraq ..a country that had nothing to do with 911 and kill 1,000,000,000 Iraqis..

And bomb people in Afghanistan over ONE MAN who til this day have never been wanted for the 911 attacks on the terror wanted list.

2 countries bombed because of Bin Laden, yet he was not found in either of the 2 countries.

Now, He was found in Pakistan…killed and body was conveniently rested at sea…

but it don’t end there.

america is contemplating warring with Pakistan for haboring Bin Laden…The same guy no one can prove was in Pakistan because there’s no body as evidence.

Now…who believe that conspiracy?

Anyone who tries to make America culpable for the bombing of the World Trade Center and doesn’t hold Islamic terrorists responsible is as absolutely disgusting as it gets. They shouldn’t move to Canada or Mexico, Birdo, that is WAY too good for them. They should move to Yemen or Iran. As Chubby Checker said, “How low can you go?”
